Summary

Carylwood Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Bedford City School District in Ohio. With 241 students, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom 20% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, attendance rates, and student subgroup outcomes all indicate significant challenges that need to be addressed.

Carylwood Intermediate School consistently underperforms compared to the state and its local district on Ohio state assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 28.2% to 54.5% across different grade levels and subject areas, significantly below the state averages of 61.3% to 69.1%. The school also faces extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.0% to 38.6% over the past few years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance varies greatly by student subgroup, with some subgroups, such as special education, low-socioeconomic status, and gifted/talented students, struggling significantly more than others.

The challenges at Carylwood Intermediate School appear to be part of a broader pattern within the Bedford City School District, as the other elementary schools in the district also struggle academically and have high chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing the systemic issues within the district and the specific needs of Carylwood Intermediate School's student population will be critical for improving the school's performance and providing a high-quality education for all students.
